Benjamin Hipple 762febafe2 doc: mention how to turn on pure evaluation mode in manual
The flag is `--pure-eval`, which can be found by looking at the test suite; it
should be in the notes describing the feature as well, since otherwise users may
assume this is referencing something like `nix-shell --pure`.

Benjamin Hipple 5d24e18e29 doc: touchup release notes for 2.3
- At the top of the release notes, we announce sandboxing is now enabled by default,
then at the bottom it says it's now disabled when missing kernel support. These
can be merged into one point for clarity.

- The point about `max-jobs` defaulting to 1 appears unrelated to sandboxing.

This documents the outcome of the change in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/454:

> We can also automatically add parentheses in the generated
> `buildInputs`, so you can type `nix-shell -p "expr"`
> instead of `"(expr").

docs: xref doesn't render in title
The `post-build-hook` text currently appears in the index, but not on the actual title line of the section, this follows the pattern used in a previous section to get a reference into a title.

Remove superfluous IAM action for S3 cache
`s3:ListObjects` isn't a real IAM action, but _is_ the name of an S3 API method. `s3:ListBucket` is the relevant action for that method.

Julien Tanguy ae244af242 docs: Use the explicit ref for fetchGit with a tag
With the merge of #2582, the syntax "tags/1.9" for refs does not work
anymore.
However, the new syntax "refs/tags/1.9" seems to support annotated tags,
such as "refs/tags/2.0".

Closes #2385.
